FORKS — Therapy Session, the rock-country-blues band from the West End, is celebrating release of a new CD with a free concert Saturday night.
Music lovers of all ages are invited to the 7 p.m. show at the Peninsula College Forks Extension Site, 71 S. Forks Ave.
Willie Nelson’s “Good Hearted Woman,” Gershwin’s “Summertime,” the traditional “Green Pastures,” Cheap Trick’s “The Flame” and Robbie Robertson’s “Ophelia” are among the songs on the album, simply titled “Therapy Session.” These, along with a slew of other tunes, will comprise the first half of Saturday’s two-hour concert.
For the second set, Therapy Session will dish out some new tunes the band has been working on over the past year. The foursome — harmonica man Pete Larsen, singer and bassist Dave Lenahan and singer-guitarists Roger Lien and Sally Milici — like to do “high spirited, lively tunes as well as a smattering of melodic ballads,” as Milici puts it.
The band’s debut CD, she noted, was mixed and mastered by Leo Bidne and recorded at Strait Music in Port Angeles. It’ll be available for $12 at the concert.
Therapy Session’s name comes from the realization, several years ago as the group was forming, that music has great therapeutic powers for the players and, they hope, for listeners and dancers.
The band recently performed at the Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts over Memorial Day weekend and hopes to schedule CD-release concerts in Clallam Bay and Port Angeles this summer.
